I am using an ASUS P5N7A-VM mobo nvidia 9300 integrated graphics intel
Q8300 proc. I currently have my playback video settings set at VDPAU
Normal on a 1920 by 1080 monitor. Your solution did show much better
performance especially when the OSD appears and disappears but when I
watch a movie in 720p now there isn't as much tearing as before after I
did what you said I added this line
Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "Disable"
EndSection
now my xorg.conf looks like this
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
DefaultDepth 24
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Default Device"
Driver "nvidia"
Option "UseEvents" "1"
Option "DPI" "100x100"
Option "NoLogo" "1"
EndSection
Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "Disable"
EndSection
Is there anything else that I should be doing? and sorry if I didn't post the message properly i'm new to this.
